• 46,000 stars, plus 220 of the best-known star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies in the sky.

• Displays the Solar System's major planets and moons using NASA spacecraft imagery, and includes the best-known asteroids and comets.

• Accurately shows you the sky from any place on Earth, at anytime up to 100 years in the past or future.

• Encyclopedic descriptions of the sky objects written by professional astronomers.

Beware, this guy did not refund... my purchase price when I requested a refund within a few minutes, then returns my message saying its not his problem! Poor GUI. Real time is almost 30° off. Sometimes real time stops and I don't know how to get it going. I don't know why you would accolade this article because it was written using an ishit for it's baseboard, NOT AN ANDROID, so you are effectively LYING about your description. In fact the article brings out the deficientcies of the basic program. It is also comparatively way expensive...

Great app but I'm disappointed that they decided to charge again for version 4 I'd only had it for a month and it became obsolete. The new version is almost the same as this. It doesn't sit well. And the Dev has an attitude.

disappointed I purchased Sky Safari before there was Sky Safari 4 available. So, now I feel tricked, this version is seems no longer supported and no longer updated. Why do you need to distinct Sky Safari and Sky Safari 4? To get more money? Yes of course you are.

Worked well, but getting problems now I really loved the app at first. But lately it keeps giving me the error saying "safari cant determine your location,make sure your gps is on"....i make sure everytime that the gps is on, and even on high accuracy. But the app still doesn't work. I have updated it fully, reinstalled it, but nothing is working. Fix this please. EDIT: giving 1 star now cause my problem hasn't been fixed. I haven't even been contacted regarding this!

I do love this app. I EVEN PURCHASED IT BUT IT NEVER GET DOWNOADED AT ALL, I'M VERY SAD I HAD NO THE CHANCE BUT IT NEVER GET DOWNOADED AT ALL, I'M VERY SAD I HAD NO THE CHANCE TO never see it or get this app "ON " said, how much was it? Any ideas for help to get it on my Samsung Galaxy s5? Please any smallest suggest, write me SMS 808-5205 Amelia thanks

Updates Now SkySafari 4 ..... and need to pay... So seems like developer more keen to update app via new version... Maybe next time need to pay for SkySafari 4.XX / 5 /6 Then its like all "updates" you need to pay.

The best star chart app SkySafari blows Google Sky Maps and the Stellarium mobile app out of the water. It's the perfect tool to help me find my way around the sky with my10" dobsonian, 10x50 binoculars, or naked eye observing. Helps me plan my observing by showing me what's in the sky at any given time and date or by allowing me to select a specific object and find out when it's in the sky.
